03/18/2022Today the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) officially "flipped the switch" to solar power. The extensive new 543 kilowatt solar installation will produce enough electricity to power 30-40% of CCAC North Campus's electrical energy needs. The new solar array was installed by BAI Group, LLC, of State College, Pennsylvania, and was facilitated by the Pennsylvania Solar Center through its G.E.T. Solar program. It will save CCAC about $750,000 in energy costs over the next 28 years, and thanks to a Power Purchase Agreement with BAI, the college did not have to spend any of its own money on the project.CCAC Public Relationstrue
